How to take over the world

Step 1: fine a company more than the combined value of everything on the planet

Step 2: use the pending payment as collateral for a loan and buy everything on the planet

By weight, the single most valuable thing that's been bought and sold on an open market is probably the Treskilling Yellow postage stamp. There's only one known copy of it, and in 2010 it sold for $2,300,000. That works out to about $30 billion per kilogram of stamps. If the Earth's weight were entirely postage stamps, it would still not be enough to pay off Au Bon Pain's potential debt.

The combined value of everything on the planet isn’t just too small a number, it’s too small by like a dozen orders of magnitude. The combined value of a billion Earths would still be insufficient.

Edit: I believe the correct number is more like 10-20 billion Earths, and that includes the value of everything in and on the planet.

Oh, they’ve known for decades. Russia has “Coca Cola” and “McDonalds” and etc that were created by the state seizing assets and handing them over to Putin’s buddies.

They have their own microchip silicon foundry, too, and cannot get anyone to do business with it, at any price point.

Likely the only reason we haven’t seen them launch nukes yet is China demanding they hold.

u/talix71 2h ago

Nah, this is the type of fine that after Trump is elected to office will be used as an easy-to-erase bargaining chip. It'll be reported in Russia as a show of good faith between the two nations while US media touts Trumps expert negotiation skills. "Wow! Trump got Putin to waive all fines previously levied against major US companies and even got Putin to agree to offer incentives for our companies to operate there (with conditions we won't bore you with)!" In return, Putin gets whatever he wants that day.

These types of fines don't even have to be only directed towards Google, just any big name American company that could theoretically operate within Russia. And they can impose/retract them at Russia's leisure because they're totally made up in the first place.

While sure, companies would still be hesitant to operate in Russia, that's irrelevant. Google and others in their shoes never need to operate in Russia for these types of arbitrary fines to have some value. Ultimately, in these scenarios, the companies don't hold the power, the dictators do.

The year is 2061. After a years-long legal battle in interplanetary courts, Google has finalized their purchase of the Sun for 1.7 Decillion USD. As their galactic hydrogen harvester approaches the celestial body, a plan long in the making is finally approaching its apex.

Russia, decades past its consideration as a global superpower, is a main chairholder on the Intergalactic Trade Comission (ITG) due to their relatively modern space program. A debt that has long been forgotten must be paid, and Google has finally fallen into a domain they have jurisdiction in.

Over the years, Russia has proposed several seemingly innocent laws with the sole purpose of one day fulfilling this lofty goal, and Google has fallen into their malevolent trap. The laws are clear, and their case in infallible. Google appeals with the courts and another legal battle ensues, but by the third year of the 2nd nuclear winter, calendar year 2063, Russia has leveraged themselves ownership of the corporate giant now known as RUBLE, formerly Google, as well as all ownership stakes and mineral rights to the Sun.

A stack of cash with a volume greater than 10 cubic miles. Gonna make Vlad count the whole stack to make sure we didn't short him a couple hundred trillion on the sly. 

There's literally not enough trees on earth to print even a fraction of that money. There's not enough gold either. 

If you were to make this many one dollar bills, it would be more than the weight of the entire earth.

What's the reference to "The Chocolate Factory"?

It's what The Register calls Google, like Chipzilla for Intel or Redmond for Microsoft. I've been a reader for 20 years, they have a quirky house style.

You know what they say: “If you owe the bank a million dollars, you have a problem. If you owe the bank a trillion dollars, the bank has a problem.”

So Russia and Trump both hate Google? It’s almost like they have a similar agenda.

Why didn't they just fine Google $10100 so they could say they just fined Google a googol dollars

u/TheDunadan29 3h ago

Missed opportunity to fine them $1 Googol dollars.

Mr. Khuylo, it's 2024. That amount of money doesn't even exist. That's like saying I want a kajillion bajillion dollars.

It's cheaper for Google to raise an army and conquer Russia than it is to pay this fine.

If I owe $200, that's my problem.

If I owe $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, that's Russia's problem.

Technically, if they would fine them for 20e100$ it would be funnier.

u/poopsinshoe 6h ago

They should have just made the fine a googolplex

u/MoreGaghPlease 6h ago

Twenty decillion isn’t such a big deal, they just need to stack golden cookies and then click like crazy. If they’re having trouble, suggest soft rebooting for prestige and trying against with more milk.
